water in oil so i over heated it pretty bad but at the time i was pissed so i didnt care and just kept driving, sprung a pretty bad oil leak, pulled the intake manifold got it all sealed up nice, drove it around, no leak, drove it to work next day, leak... but on the opposite side still havent found the source, drove it to work the day after and no leak, checked the oil level, and there was water...... blown head gasket?

Wow, you were mad so you kept driving an overheated vehicle??
Think of how mad you are going to be when you are either: A, pulling the heads off in that crampted little work area under the hood; or B, paying someone else a ton of money to do it for you.
If you are lucky you can get away with an oil/filter change and a couple of head gaskets. How long did you drive it with water in the oil? Hopefully you didn't warp the heads or screw up the bottom end.

Head gasket and you probably did some more damage. Did you hear a knocking sound when the motor was warm....but went away after it cooled off? Trending Topics

no there wasent any knocking, i thought i had gotten lucky with just the oil leak and fixed that, or so i thought, and then drove it to work like i said and once things got settled in it was runnin pretty good but i dunno, ive got no work cause the clients r bein ****** not signing the contract yet then i have to wait on permits from the city and the shop wants 2200 to do it but since im not workin i have the time and many friends and connections so a friend of the family will machine anything i need for a screamin deal i just really didnt want to do it, for a car im about to get rid of any ways
